We describe this beautiful route as an 8-day trip. You can simply walk and organize the route yourself, but you can also leave the planning to a Local expert. In that case, your hotels, luggage transport, support, and transfers are included. Read more about this below.      <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hikes are manageable for people with average fitness levels. You can see the daily distances below. You\u2019ll walk on easily navigable footpaths, forest trails (not always well-marked), paved paths, and a few sections along quiet country roads.    <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"19400\" src=\"https:\/\/naturetravellab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Church-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"San Lucio Church - Menaggio - Lake Como\" class=\"wp-image-19400\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturetravellab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Church-980x735.jpg 980w, https:\/\/naturetravellab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Church-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"19415\" src=\"https:\/\/naturetravellab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Rif.-Menaggio-.137-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Menaggio - Lake Como\" class=\"wp-image-19415\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturetravellab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Rif.-Menaggio-.137-980x735.jpg 980w, https:\/\/naturetravellab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Rif.-Menaggio-.137-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hiking Highlights: Lake Como and Lake Lugano  <\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hike along mountain trails high above the lakes of Como and Lugano  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Experience the rich culture and art of the Lombardy region  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Luxurious villas and beautiful gardens  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Menaggio, a beautiful little town with a fantastic view of the lake  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The \u201cAntica Strada Regina\u201d  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lake Lugano  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Porlezza  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 1: Arrival in Menaggio, Lake Como  <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arrival in Menaggio on the shores of Lake Como.

This section begins in Menaggio and follows cobblestone paths to the quaint village of Rezzonico. From the top of the hill, you\u2019ll enjoy a stunning view of the lake and the surrounding mountains.
